He is offering a certificate of authenticity from vintage watches from where he had purchased earlier.
Any suggestions much appreciated.

Hi Ashwin and welcome here!

Does the seller provide a larger version of this picture:



This is a very important view because the dial is (one of the) most important parts of the watch.

Thanks

Overpolished with a dial in average condition.
It's a pass from me.
